Title: Truss's inbox...
Post by: klondike on September 02, 2022, 10:05:55 AM
With an 80 majority and such an optimistic air of great things to come how could it all go so wrong in a couple of years.

One at a time please and in no particular order I'll kick it off...

Inflation

"How could it all go so wrong in a couple of years ? "

I'd say Covid was a big reason, plus losing control of the dinghies.

The Great Barrington declaration pointed to the way to handle covid but instead we got  lockdowns. The money printing that was needed to support lockdown certainly lead to the inflation we are seeing now.

Reliance was placed on vaccines which turn out not only to have failed to work but lead to deaths for which taxpayer compensation is now being paid as the pharmaceuticals were guaranteed no blame.

NHS backlog

The NHS has major problems. However I was pleased to see a huge recruitment fair in our Winter Gardens yesterday.  There were lots of staff from a variety of NHS departments, plus Sheffield Uni, and it was heaving.  Apprenticeships are now the name of the game, with appropriate qualifications, right up to degree, along the way.  No student debt, but a pay packet.

It'll take a while to put things right, so many experienced staff are leaving, burnt out because they are understaffed, overworked, and regularly abused.

She'll need more than one for all those letters about stopping the dinghy invasion so long as folks post them in the postbox as well as post about them on Facebook. Mines sealed and ready to go.

Unless Sunak has stolen it with overseas voters of course.

They admit to £10,000 painting police cars and £17,000 painting fire trucks. it's such a waste. How much does it cost to paint them back the proper colours when they have had enough?

Get the British coal industry going again. Higher prices make it viable and necessary.

Might end the nonsense of shipping wood across the Atlantic to Drax. That has got to be expensive and it will take decades for the CO2 produced to grow back as trees.
